Membership is open to all full and part-time NYUCD faculty members. The most important criterion for membership is a willingness to commit time to the Academy. Members are expected to take an active role in Academy activities, including meetings, committees, and sponsored events. Beyond this, applicants should exhibit strength in at least one of the following categories:
Contract Renewal for Non-Tenured Faculty: Non-tenured full-time Academy members receive annual 3-year contract renewals upon their acceptance into the Academy.
Tenure and Promotion: Given the central role of peer review in the process of selecting Academy members, membership will inform the promotions process in a positive manner.
Impact: Members have opportunities to influence practice and policy at the College.
Project Funding: Members have access to funds for educational projects .
